Reuters quote of the day, January 9

London, Jan 8 (Reuters) Following is a notable quote from history. ''There's terrific merit in having no sense of humour, no sense of irony, practically no sense of anything at all.

If you're born with these so-called defects you have a very good chance of getting to the top.'' -- British comedian, Peter Cook. He died on January 9, 1995.
